About Amanda Farias:

Amanda Farias is a tireless advocate for women and girls. Having worked alongside women in the City Council, Amanda recognizes the power of bringing female leadership to the table. She managed the Women’s Caucus of City Council, organized rallies on equal pay for women, paid leave, and constructed a budget that prioritizes community initiatives for mothers and young girls.

Amanda has the tenacity to speak truth to power and challenge the status quo–which is what we need in this political climate.
